短评 in brief
如果人类不能消除对生态和地球系统的无知，世界将会怎样？卡斯帕•亨德森认为，弗雷德•古特尔的《物种的命运》一书对最坏的情形进行了令人惊心的概述。
The Fate of the Species by Fred Guterl is a bracing overview of the worst that can happen if humans do not overcome their ecological and Earth-systems illiteracy, writes Caspar Henderson.
认识什么是主观和客观
标准是人制定的，但是空气污染及其危害是客观存在的。不管你用什么标准，污染和危害都会在那里。
就算是发展中国家和发达国家标准不同，但是污染的危害会不同吗？发展中国家会因为自己的发展程度而获得更小的污染危害吗?
所以那什么发展程度不同，标准不同的人需要想想标准是干什么用的。
Learn the difference between objective and subjective
Standards are drawn up by people, but the existence of pollution and the harm it causes can be shown to exist objectively. No matter what standards you use, the pollution and harm are still there.
Even if the standards in developing countries and developed countries are different, does that mean the harm caused by pollution is any different? Do developing countries sustain less harm from pollution as a result of their level of development?
So people who think that standards should be different for countries in different levels of development need to think what these standards are used for.
